First Taste
by Sarah Hegner 6/6/12
Upon the first taste of honey
Out of the comb cut from my hive
I realized that
Nature has her ways
Though I ask most politely
That she follow my plan
She whispers to the bees
Survive, survive
And I can only watch as
My straight lines are shifted
Life is built at an angle
Where I expected empty space
Is filled with surprising sweetness
And so I think
Upon the first taste of honey
That I am lucky that
Nature has her ways
